Information about the first moon landing: Neil Armstrong was Spacecraft Commander for Ap
Neil Armstrong was Spacecraft Commander for Apollo 11 (flight from July 16-2l, 1969) the first manned lunar landing mission, and was the first man to walk on the moon. On July 20, 1969, he stepped off the Lunar Module named "Eagle", onto the surface of the moon, and said the now-famous words, "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind". From there he could look up and see the Earth as no one had done before him and few have done since.
He was shortly joined by "Buzz" Aldrin, and the two astronauts spent 21 hours on the lunar surface and returned with 46 pounds of lunar rocks. Scientists studied the rocks (and still study them today) to learn about the moon.
Following the completion of their lunar surface activities, Armstrong and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin E. Aldrin, manoeuvred the lunar module to a rendezvous with Command Module Pilot Michael Collins who had remained in lunar orbit in the command module "Columbia".
